Nasir al-Mulk 'Pink Mosque'

The rarity of architecture like this makes Nasir al-Mulk all the more precious.

Though Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem and Istanbul's Blue Mosque both feature stained glass windows, on the whole they are fairly uncommon in mosque architecture.

The multitude of stained glass windows turn the inside of the mosque into a riotous wonderland of color that is absolutely breathtaking.

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

Rumi

The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.

Rumi

It's also known as the "Pink Mosque" for the rose-colored tiles that cover the interior

Even if you are the world’s least religious person, you might feel your hands coming together in prayer naturally when you see the brilliance of this light. Perhaps the builders of this mosque wanted to show their “faith” through the morning light shining through this stained glass.

Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.

Rumi

Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.

Rumi

A foreign tourist to Iran has made a harmony with Nasir ol Molk Mosque in Shiraz city

An enemy to whom you show kindness becomes your friend, excepting lust, the indulgence of which increases its enmity.

Saadi

Oman overall has great animal and plant biodiversity because it has mountains, desert, coastal areas and rich coral reefs.

Saadi

When I die, I shall soar with angels, and when I die to the angels, what I shall become you cannot imagine.

Rumi

I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.

Rumi

The way the Beloved can fit in my heart, two thousand lives could fit in this body of mine. One kernel could contain a thousand bushels, and a hundred worlds pass through the eye of the needle.

Rumi

The best time to visit is between 7:30-8:30. Most probably you will be the only visitor during these hours.

I fear God and next to God I mostly fear them that fear him not.

Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever.

From the outside, the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran, seems like a fairly traditional house of worship -- but it's hiding a gorgeously colorful secret.
